Eddie Kunz updated his blog, and actually makes a very good point about winter league stats.

I have been pitching very well and making all my pitches work for me. Now I know the numbers are not shoiwing it but this is a league to work on things and get better so era and those things don't matter that much at all. I am getting stronger and a better feel for my piitches as well which is nice.

Fair enough. Kunz has an ERA north of ten, but the point of his stint in Arizona isn't to blow everyone away, but rather to work on improving his pitches.

Wille Randolph has been named bench coach for Ken Macha's Milwaukee Brewers.

Gary Carter will manage the Long Island Ducks. Working his way up from the bottom, then?

The Padres picked up Brian Giles's option for 2009, officially taking him off the free agent market.

Wasn’t he drafted out of college? What did he major in, basket weaving?

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Yeah, it's bad

Putting a comma in the appropriate place would be nice.
